Resources for Investigators

We are pleased to share our Center's resources with approved scientists in accordance with federal and institutional resource-sharing and privacy policies. All resource requests are reviewed and approved by a panel of Center committee members. 

Before any resources can be released, we require that investigators provide evidence of institutional human subjects and/or animal studies approval for their research. Investigators with research proposals involving human subjects must also pass an approved human subject research education course.

We require that researchers acknowledge our Center's contribution in any grant proposals, press release, progress reports, and/or publications that result from the use of our Center resources.  An example of an acknowledgement sentence is as follows:

"The project described was supported by the award number P50 AG005134 from the National Institute on Aging. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institute on Aging or the National Institutes of Health."

All NIH-funded investigators who use our Center's resources must comply with the NIH Public Access Policy, in accordance with Division G, Title II,  Section 218 of PL 110-161 (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008):

The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law.
